Giving credit for assists?

You're working on a tank twice your size.. you've circled it and pounded away at its armor and finally have it down to 5% when.. BOOM.. someone else kills it from miles away.. All your hard work is for naught..
Now of course, this is a team game so the team is more important here.. but it would be darn nice to see an assists value next to your on screen kills value in the hud so that you know if you're at least contributing at all..
I can't tell you the number of times I have finished with zero kills but I know I hit and damaged at least 4 or 5.. This would also show in the team list which of your enemies are problematic that you need to kill and which of your friends you need to help/protect/follow/team up with..etc..
It's not about the epeen (though maybe a little) but more about providing useful information to the team as a whole..
Thoughts?
